TIE W.A.S.P. sounds cool...
If it has been used before in a game, then I'd rather use something else.

Well, it's not so much of a platform though. How about: the HORNETS; Hazardous Operations Recon and Nuclear Elimination Tactical Starfighter. OK, So it's kinda a mouthful, but hey...
I think it sounds cool. (And yes, I know it is plural by default, but whatever)

TIE Prototype textured

C'Mon, not HORNETS? Lol, jk.

To be honest, it kinda reminds me of the Droid Starfighter, except in a TIE reconstruction.

yeah it does kinda
i was going for similar to a TIE Interceptor, but much heavier, and with folding wings.

I've added some damage points now, also.

@Kinetos: It looks nice, better than I could do with texturing, but the textures don't seem to match up the way you chose them, (I mean that the body is a flat grey and the wings' frames and cockpit are a light blue)and you need to rescale the model. Like, a lot. Unless, of course, you just rescaled the hps, but why would you do that, seeing as it's pointless.

all the textures are stock, i think, except for the imp logo on the side. might adjust the tiefighter texture though
I still can't figure out the scale in XSI
I know a square is supposed to be a meter? But I can't get measurements right, even with small things

EDIT
How is this? I grabbed the entire thing and scaled it way down, nulls got scaled too, animation still looks right

@kinetosimpetus:

1) sick model.
2) Name Suggestions: quite a lot, some may already be used, not sure
TIE Dianoga
TIE Destroyer
TIE Demolisher
TIE Pacifier
TIE Guardian
TIE Silencer
TIE Raider
TIE Cruiser
TIE Torpedo Bomber
TIE Dagger
TIE Morningstar
TIE Shadow
TIE Hunter
TIE Jaeger
TIE Haunter
TIE Tracker
TIE Missile Bomber

@ kinetos, a playermodel is 2 squares high, at first freeze scaling(maybe rotating and translation too), then make the cockpit 3x3x3 and scale the other things properly(look at the cockpit and copy scaling). not the fastest/easiest way...

Well, since TIE stands for Twin Ion Engine, and it looks like you have three instead of two there....Tri-Ion-Engine, aka TIE!


Oh, wait....

Yeah, do what andew said, but remember not to freeze scaling on nulls, only the model itself.

TIE Silencer
TIE Spider
TIE SilkSpray

ok, so TIE cockpit == 3x3
thanks guys

how about these for names?

Drexl
Laigrek - I'm probably going to use this one, a scorpion
Shyrack
Vornskr

Tri-Ion-Engine (TIE) WaveSplit.

TIE-SCAT (Singe-Cockpit Armed Transport)

TIE Fly

Bow-TIE

Yep. Lol...TIE scat....

TIE Shyrack sounds nice, though it does bring to mind TIE Shamrock.

TIE Drexl would mean it's a Twin Ion Engine Rodian Bounty Hunter Who Lives On Raxus Prime. I'd go with Laigrek.

Drexl are dragonlike creatures native to Onderon I thought...
ok, TIE Laigrek i think it will be :vader2:
OFFTOPIC: how is there not a TIE pilot smily?

How about TIE/D version 2.0? Lame, I know, but it kind of looks like a TIE/D with more engines.
